Bergevin Lane 2003 Intuition Reserve Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $45

A Bordeaux blend with a textured, spicy, exotic nose that mixes its red and black fruits with pepper, ground coffee, cinnamon and saffron. The spice box opens into a lovely, supple wine that continues to display nicely nuanced notes of mineral, leaf and leather. — P.G. (4/1/2006)

Editors' Choice

Price $22

The best value among all of Bergevin Lane’s 2008 Syrahs, this rich and smoky effort spent 20 months in oak. Sourced from Stone Tree and Francisca’s vineyards, it has tight, ripe berry flavors and beautifully manicured tannins. — P.G. (2/1/2012)
